Former Vice President Dick Cheney says the attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last Sept. 11 was “a failure of leadership” on the part of the Obama administration, especially since it was the anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

“They should have been ready before anything ever happened,” Cheney said of the Obama team. “When we were there, on our watch, we were always ready on 9/11, on the anniversary.”
